Hi everyone,
My name is Chris, and I'm from Bridgeport, Connecticut. I've been interested in metal detecting since I was a kid. In fact, I still have my first detector. It's something cheap and orange, powered by a 9 volt battery, and if I never hear the sound it makes again, it'll be too soon.
Other than that, I have another cheap-o, the Bounty Hunter Gold Digger, that we bought one Christmas for my son. Now that he's a young man, we recently picked up the Nokta Makro Simplex+ WHP Waterproof Detector along with a pair of Garett Pro Pointers. This Simplex+ seemed like a good choice for all-around use, including the beach. I'm thinking of getting another so that we can both have a decent detector when we hunt together. Otherwise we end up taking turns between that one and the BH, and that's just kind of lame.
The history aspect is my favorite part of detecting. I have very little experience, but I'd very much like to learn more about all of it, including digging neat plugs, securing and contracting permissions, maintaining the best etiquette, etc.. Of course, it would also be nice to make some new friends around all of that.
Thanks!
